The German adjective 'einsam' translates to 'lonely' in English. It describes the feeling of being alone or isolated, often accompanied by a sense of sadness or longing for companionship.
'Einsam' can refer to both physical and emotional loneliness. It can describe a person who is physically alone, such as someone living in a remote area with few people around. It can also describe a person who feels emotionally disconnected from others, even when surrounded by people.
The word 'einsam' carries a deeper connotation than just being alone. It implies a sense of longing for connection and the absence of meaningful relationships. It is often used to express the profound emotional state that comes with being truly lonely.
